My street

My street is just that – a street with twenty-one houses flanking both sides.

Some of the houses are right on the lake – but not ours. (Which is probably just as well as I would be glued to the windows with a camera in my hand!)

I can open the door and find myself by the lake in a few seconds flat – ready to document the first snow that arrived only five days after the first hard frost – and which sadly disappeared only a day later.

First snow

If you walked with me by the lake, we might stop to admire the rickety old jetty with its view of the farm on the other side of the water.

We could laugh with joy as we watch the melting snow bouncing on the path to create rainbows.

And, if we’re really lucky, we could catch those magical snowflakes and appreciate the beauty of our seemingly mundane lives.

For more magic, please visit: My World. (And remember to click each photo to enlarge it.)

Your images are stunning and your photography tells of a keen eye and a sense for beautiful composition. The last image is priceless…
For me personally your images also bring back the pristine and unblemished beauty of Sweden, a country where I grew up. Thank you for the memories.;)

Thank you for taking me for a walk down your street. I love the beauty that your eye’s see and that you share them with us. Our first snow is sure to be soon…they are talking about some coming in some parts tomorrow. The little’s would be thrilled. 🙂

Hi There, Thanks so much for coming to my blog. I am enjoying yours —but am shivering thinking of SNOW and FROST…. We are still fairly warm here in Tennessee—but I’m sure that frost and snow will be in our future…

Honey!
I realised a long time ago that I’m a city girl, I don’t do outdoors very well, I don’t like silence, hell I’m scared if there isn’t at least 10 persons around me. In short: I don’t fit in the country side. But when I see your pictures I start to reconsider (reconcider? as in cider?) cause it looks so wonderful. Those colours!!! Maybe I and my high heels soon could come and visit and go for a walk with you and your earrings?

It’s a beautiful place to walk. Last year I seem to remember (from blog photos) that the snow didn’t come to Sweden until much later. Is it early this year? Whatever the weather, I sense youy’re enjoying the season!
